I remembered that I didn’t have anything with me except my cellphone. “I’ll just send you to the staff there to buy your clothes. We will get back to the Philippines after two days,” he continued. So I immediately turned to him.

“Of course, you can call them. Do you want me to be the one who will talk to your family?” I immediately shook twice. Of course not! Maybe Lucky can answer, and what else will he think?

“I can handle it, Sir. It seems like you are kidnapping me, but of course, this is part of my job as your secretary.” I smiled at him at that.

“For the record, Ms. Santos. I didn’t kidnap you, okay?” he said.
